Awakenings – Emma Dempsey

For those of you who don’t know me, my name’s Emma. I am a junior here at Loyola, double majoring in Journalism and Women’s Studies & Gender Studies. As I considered a WSGS internship, I knew I wanted to find something that would fit both of my majors. Specifically in terms of WSGS, I’ve loved my classes, and I’ve learned a lot, but I wanted an opportunity to see how I could apply my learning outside the classroom. I wanted to find somewhere I could make a difference and see the impact I’m making. Ultimately, my search led me to Awakenings, an art gallery focused on making visible the artistic expressions of survivors of sexual assault. READ MORE

The Clare was the best place for me to intern as it is an assisting living home for the elderly, so I can gain skills in programming activities for them but also build clinical experience with the elderly patients.
